Saving JPG File in high quality for print in Illustrator

Hey i would like to save my illustrator file as jpg in high quality that I could print in 2x3meter backwall.

 

I clicked Data>Export>Export as> and then I choosed Jpg and the highest quality. But now Illustrator is telling me the resolution is to high. Is it possible to save it as jpg in a high quality in this way (and not as Webdesign) because I would like to send it to a printer for a 2x3meter backwall print

Don't use a JPEG at all unless it is absolutely required for some reason. Ask the printer if you can submit a PDF.

Is it vector? Why save down to pixel? Save as pdf...

    Thanks for all the replies. I am a newbie so this has all been helpful in my understanding of everything. I will save it now in lower resolution as jpg and see if the print will be good 😄 for me it looks quite sharp even in lower quality.

      Well, you haven't said what's in the composition, but I can't imagine any good reason to rasterize the whole thing. Just save and send a PDF.

        I agree with Doug, JPG is going to cause problems. Try to find out if your printer will accept other formats such as EPS.

          Does it need to be a JPEG? A 3-meter JPEG at 300 PPI would be 35,000 pixels wide -- large enough to cause Illustrator problems with exports. You may be able to use Photoshop though.
